Yeah, you're right. I mean, at Krabi, after a day's climbing you can chill out at a beachside bar and watch the sun drop below the horizon out to sea. Sup a beer, buy some green from the bars and just chill. At Roche, you can go down some gnarly Maltby hell hole for a pint of bitter. No contest.

The word on mainland Europe at the weekend was that Isabelle Bihr held his ropes on it in 1999. Maybe he forgot, eh?
